The experience and learning that you had gained from doing this far succeeds the money you had gained. Keeping a positive open mind, bro. Regardless, you did so so much ... so so well, and much more than most people would or can do is highly impressive imo!!
Thanks! Yep, it was mostly all free. The only cost is the Firebase CRON job, which costs about $0.50 per month (pretty much free 😄). Firebase database is free, and I should've mentioned that the NextJS website is hosted on Vercel which is also free.
I have the PayPal app on my phone and would get push notifications, would also get email notifications too. I found that to be sufficient, did you have another idea in mind for notifications?
@@SingletonSean So when someone paid, you get an email. Probably your program checks the email account in every hour and then turn on the premium feature. I have not other idea, I just wondered if you do this automaticcally or manually, or may be paypal provide you an API.
Oh I see what you mean! The process of turning on premium is instant and entirely automated. Basically, when the user selects their payment method on PayPal, the PayPal SDK gives back a token for the transaction. I make a request to my own server with that token that will process the transaction by calling the PayPal API, and afterwards update the premium flag in the database.
such a great Person with great channel.
I wish you success my friend.
Thank you friend I needed that today 🙏 wishing you success too

Very enjoyable video, thanks!
Is firebase entirely free in this case? So hosting, database...
Great video, keep up the good work!

It would be nice to hear more about the connection to PayPal. How are you notified if someone has paid you?

Totally missed an opportunity to insert a Ross “Pivot” clip there
Next time!!
I’m stuck at finding projects to build. All I can come up with are work related projects. Would love to try and branch out.
By the way, I’m not a programmer. I’m actually a Medical Physicist but really like programming
Build a library app. It's very good practice for both organizing your code and coming up with good data structures.
I have the same issue! Feel like I need to expand my hobbies and explore more technology to come up with new ideas
@@yogxoth1959 do you need one I can build for you, lol.
I hope you can buy a house with your $3.98 in revenue. Gonna need some much lower interest rates though..
